What effects will a declining Canadian dollar have on the Canadian economy? President-elect Trump’s threatened trade actions against Canada could also exert further downward pressure on the loonie, especially if the Bank of Canada responds to Trump’s actions by making additional rate cuts. For context, it took $1.33 Canadian dollars to purchase one U.S. dollar on January 1, 2024, compared to $1.43 Canadian dollars on December 13, 2024. This represents a substantial depreciation in the Canadian dollar’s value of approximately 7.6 per cent over the period. https://www.fraserinstitute.org/commentary/declining-canadian-dollar-could-stifle-productivity-growth-canada

(Bloomberg) -- Canada is deploying what it calls an “aerial intelligence task force” as part of a new C$1.3 billion ($908 million) plan to address US President-elect Donald Trump’s concerns about migrants and fentanyl flowing across the northern border. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will operate the task force, made up of helicopters, drones and mobile surveillance towers. It’s one of multiple measures unveiled by the Canadian government on Tuesday in an effort to avert Trump’s threat of 25% tariffs on all goods from the country unless it boosts border security. The announcement comes a day after the country’s finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, abruptly resigned, accusing Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of failing to seriously prepare for a Trump presidency. She was replaced by Dominic LeBlanc, the public safety minister who released the border plan on Tuesday. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/business/2024/12/17/canada-expands-aerial-border-surveillance-to-pacify-trump/

(Bloomberg) -- The Canadian dollar slid to its lowest level since March 2020 as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government slips into crisis after the shocking resignation of his finance minister. The currency extended its recent losses to slide another 0.4% on Tuesday past 1.43 per US dollar, the weakest level since the Covid-19 pandemic first shuttered cities. The loonie has been declining as the US’s northern neighbor’s economy lags and officials struggle to come up with a plan to respond to President-elect Donald Trump’s tariff threats. https://www.bnnbloomberg.ca/investing/2024/12/17/canadas-dollar-slumps-to-covid-era-low-as-political-risk-mounts/

But 'trust the science', right? And trust the self-proclaimed [Fauci] 'father of science', right? DARPA Paper!!! mRNA KILLER VACCINES Ready Before COVID PANDEMIC, Military Agency's Dossier proves Plot among Pentagon, Gates & Moderna They confirm, as claimed by the American patent expert David E. Martin, author of the book The Fauci Dossier, that the NIAID directed by Fauci played a fundamental role in this research. The DARPA document also highlights that Moderna started its clinical trials on Covid-19 already in 2019, well before the Wuhan outbreak (which occurred after the shipment of US soldiers to China for the Military Games in October 2019) became a global threat due to the first genotype of SARS-Cov-2, much more lethal than the subsequent Delta and Omicron variants. According to the evidence collected by Martin, Moderna’s patent for the Covid mRNA Spikevax vaccine prototype was patented and registered in March 2019, that is, 9 months before the discovery of the first outbreak and almost a year before the WHO declared a pandemic on March 11, 2020. https://www.vtforeignpolicy.com/2024/12/exclusive-darpa-paper-mrna-killer-vaccines-ready-before-covid-pandemic/

In a stunning move that shakes the government, Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland has resigned from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s cabinet after he tried to move her to a different role. Freeland has been the most powerful person in Trudeau’s cabinet for years, and was the point person in strategizing how to counter US President-elect Donald Trump’s threat to impose 25% tariffs. Trudeau has now seen the departure of two finance ministers in a little more than four years. https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/canadian-finmin-freeland-quits-warns-trudeau-trump-tariffs-are-grave-challenge

Note something about Bill - 63, We are increasingly concerned about the radicalisation of minors, and minors who support, plan or undertake terrorist activities. Radicalised minors can pose the same credible terrorist threat as adults, and law enforcement and security agencies cannot address this issue alone. https://docs.reclaimthenet.org/Unclassified-Five-Eyes-CT-minors-paper.pdf

According to Bloomberg, Canada is examining the use of export taxes on major commodities it exports to its largest trading partner - the United States - including uranium, oil and potash, to retaliate if incoming president Trump carries out his threat to impose broad tariffs. Today's threat comes one day after Ontario premier Doug Ford (brother to infamous, and now deceased, Toronto mayor Rob Ford) also flexed what little muscles he has under that copious shell, and suggested that the province would cut off electricity exports to the US over Trump’s tariff threat (which amounts to some 14 million MWh, or enough to power to large data centers). https://www.zerohedge.com/political/canadian-dollar-tumbles-after-turdeau-sic-reportedly-weighs-export-tax-uranium-oil

Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Thursday he's dead serious about withholding energy exports to the U.S. if president-elect Donald Trump goes ahead with his plan to hit Canadian goods with steep tariffs that could cripple the economy. Speaking to reporters at Queen's Park, Ford said Ontario sends energy — mostly electricity — to power 1.5 million U.S. homes in states like Michigan, Minnesota and New York. He said he would cut off that supply if Trump follows through on his tariff threat. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/doug-ford-tariff-threat-energy-exports-1.7408644
